Hotel des Deux Iles

This particularly welcoming hotel, like many buildings on the Ile-Saint-Louis, resides in a lovely 17th-century house. Guests here fall asleep close to the Seine in small, pretty rooms with striped wallpaper, bedspreads and furnishings in soothing light brown shades. Private bathrooms feature white-and-blue earthenware tiles, and amenities include air-conditioning, cable TV and free Wi-Fi. From an arched stone living room (where breakfast is served) to a beautiful painted-tile fountain, the details here are exquisite.
